There are two sets of two boxes. The top box to the left says Magna Carta. Then there is an arrow pointing to the top box on the right that says Limited Monarchy. The bottom box on the left has a question mark. There is an arrow pointing to the bottom right box that says Self-Government.

The correct document to fill the diagram is English Bill of Rights.

The Magna Carta was made in June 15, 1215 when feudal barons forced a document King John of England the aim of limiting his power and protecting their interests, therefore, the arrow points to Limited Monarchy, which it simbolizes.

The English Bill of Rights of 1689 was created after King James II refused to recognize the rights of the English people and was replaced by the diarchy of William and Mary. The document represents an important mar for self-government, once the English people required the regal authority to execute laws only with the consent of Parliament. The King’s power became more limited and represented a bigger involvement of the people.

It is worth knowing that while the Mayflower Compact written in 1620 was the first document of self-government created in America, it was created once pilgrims realized they had landed outside the jurisdiction of the Virginia Charter, but it does not have the impact and representation of the Bill of Rights, which inspired a lot of different treaties and documents all around the world since its creation.
